Reply to comment by rapiertwit in TIL that the Convair Model 118, a tentative flying car from 1947, was shelved because its prototype crashed when a test pilot mixed up the flight engine's fuel gauge with the road engine's and didn't see the former run out. While he survived, this killed interest in the project. by ShabtaiBenOron

I work for the DIA, they know exactly where to find me. :D

However, my dream job would be NTSB accident investigator. My lack of aeronautical experience precludes me from that unfortunately.
